RR saying it loud and clear... "The foot in the door"

Excuse me Mr. President, but your race bait is showing….

Your efforts to take advantage of a friend’s crisis seems to have backfired. What might have worked in a hotel ballroom full of like minded people, has only served to expose your manipulative tactics, and racist attitudes. You’re very deliberate efforts to smooth things over without a true apology does not go un-noticed.

However, it's hard not to be impressed with the attention shift away from the true issue at hand.

Another Ethics Complaint Filed Against the Governor

Something tells me that Sara Palin is quite a threat. They are still shooting arrows.....


Another Ethics Complaint Filed Against the Governor
July 20, 2009, Anchorage, Alaska – Once again, an ethics complaint has been filed and publicly released in violation of state law. This is the sixth complaint filed by Ms. McLeod. In addition, she has filed a lawsuit against the Governor's office and multiple public records act requests. All of her prior complaints that have been ruled on have been dismissed. The Ethics Act serves important state interests in ensuring ethical state government and was intended to prevent the various forms of corrupt misconduct that had plagued the Legislature in prior years and which resulted in the prosecution of legislators and others. It is unfortunate that the law has been abused and trivialized in the current manner............

A lady wrote the best letter in the Editorials in ages!!! It explains things better than all the baloney you hear on TV.

Her point:

Recently, large demonstrations have taken place across the country, protesting the fact that Congress is finally addressing the issue of illegal immigration.

Certain people are angry that the US might protect its own borders, might make it harder to sneak into this country and, once here, to stay indefinitely.

Let me see if I correctly understand the thinking behind these protests.
Let's say I break into your house. Let's say that when you discover me in your house, you insist that I leave.


But I say, "I've made all the beds and washed the dishes and did the laundry and swept the floors. I've done all the things you don't like to do. I'm hard-working and honest (except for when I broke into your house).

According to the protesters:

You are Required to let me stay in your house.
You are Required to add me to your family's insurance plan.
You are Required to Educate my kids.
You are Required to Provide other benefits to me & to my family (my husband will do all of your yard work because he is also hard-working and honest, except for that breaking in part).


If you try to call the police or force me out, I will call my friends who will picket your house carrying signs that proclaim my RIGHT to be there. It's only fair, after all, because you have a nicer house than I do, and I'm just trying to better myself. I'm a hard-working and honest, person, except for well, you know, I did break into your house. And oh yeah, I get a free education, where you have to pay your own way through college.(TEEHEE)
And what a deal it is for me!!!


I live in your house, contributing only a fraction of the cost of my keep, and there is nothing you can do about it without being accused of cold,

Uncaring, selfish, prejudiced, and bigoted behavior.

Oh yeah, I DEMAND that you learn MY LANGUAGE!!! So you can communicate with me. And don't forget to make sure your forms are in MY language - I need to understand them...

Why can't people see how ridiculous this is?!
Only in America !

2+2= ???

Did Biden really say that we needed to spend our way out of bankruptcy? Sounds like basic accounting to me!

It should be illegal for people who can't do simple math to run the country!

End justifies the means.....

"On the whole, these projects were a failure. The attempt to tame the wild creatures, for instance, broke down almost immediately. They continue to behave very much as before, and when treated with generosity, simply took advantage of it."
Excerpt from Animal Farm.

Interesting that even the Pro-Socialist Orwell recognized the fallible and corrupt nature of man. The Utopian idealists that justify their spending and programs for the good of all, are in denial to the fact that not all are good. The championed causes that benefit the minority disadvantaged, is equally distributed to those who take advantage. The cost of these benefits are great. They usually cost double or triple the end benefit to the receiver. Should we not count the cost before we spend? Truly for them the end justifies the means. Even if the means cost us our liberty and possibly the survival of our great country.

It is no secret at to Sotomayor's Abortion views. Why is it such news that she wasn't questioned on them. GRRR!

My last post...

Its amazing that my last post seemed (to me) to be signifigant and Very telling at that time. Had Palin said anything remotley similar, the outcry would have been deafening. Sotomayor, will recieve a pass and the red carpet layed out before her. Something is so wrong...
